Found that apt-get kept some packages on hold, resolved dependencies
with aptitude, to no avail. Did a clean re-install in the meantime. I
still see the "starting version 219" message but then the login screen
appears and everything works.

Title:
  Boot hangs before graphic login

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Please note: there are obviously several different causes for this
  error. Other reports on launchpad and elsewhere identified sddm,
  systemd, nvidia drivers and grub config. Since none of the solutions
  mentioned there helped in my case, I am deliberately leaving the
  information on the source package open.

  I have upgraded to Kubuntu Vivid 15.04 shortly after the final release
  and used that without issues until two days ago when I ran updates
  (apt log attached).

  Ran »sudo systemctl enable sddm.service -f«, then reboot: no change.

  Changed the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option in /etc/default/grub to
  include »nomodeset«: no change. Other variations of this line did not
  help, either.

  I do not have nvidia or nouveau driver packages installed.

  I am aware that 219 is the current systemd version, so I tried the
  upstart option in grub. Hangs, too (though with different error
  message).

  »systemctl start sddm« asks for password, the returns »authentication
  complete« (in all-caps); nothing else happens.

  Re-installing linux-generic or kubuntu-desktop had no effect.

  What can I do to at least identify the cause of this issue?
